Polaroid T.V's - junk!

Where did you buy it? They might give you some help. I would try calling even though its out of warranty.

Got it at Walmart, so they would be useless. Now if it had been Best Buy or some other electronics store, I might stand a chance, but Walmart could give a rat's backside!

Oh darn....a lesson learned I suppose.

I'm going to give Polaroid a call tomorrow and see if they'll do anything. Nothing ventured - nothing gained.......

Forget that call to Polaroid - I can only find paperwork on the original purchase, so judging from that date - the replacement is probably closer to about 18 months old, and not just over 12. It just gripes me no end tho - pretty expensive t.v. when you consider how long I actually got to use it.

But I won't be without a t.v. in my room tho. There are 2 perfectly good "old style" ones in the storage room, so my son is going to set one up for me later today. I just liked the flat panel since it was so sleek and weighed next to nothing, and I could actually move the t.v. stand to clean under and behind it. These other oldies weigh a ton! So when I get around to buying another flat - it definitely WON'T be a Polaroid. The 2 big monster flat panels we have in the living room and family room are JVC and Sony, and both of those have never been a minute's trouble.

You should buy one at Costco if you have the membership, they have fabulous customer service and I believe they have separate warranties for electronics.
